British Vision Issue 55 真假女王--奥斯卡新后（在线收听） |
| Institution Meets Institution. It's destined to be the ultimate get-together. Following her Oscar for her portrayal of Elizabeth Windsor, Helen Mirren is like to receive an invite from Buckingham Palace to meet the Queen herself. She is the first Briton in 15 years to win a Best Actress Oscar, but predictions that Peter Morgan's film would sweep the board in Los Angeles proved unfounded. There were awards for the actor Forest Whitaker and veteran director Martin Scorsese, but once again Peter O Toole left the ceremony for the 8th time empty-handed. Here is our Oscar correspondent Nicholas Glass. The nominees for this year's Academy Award... They kicked things off for a change all the Oscar nominees were invited to stand. A record 177 of them this year. This year was so predictable it bordered on the dreary. But a good year, nevertheless, for one of the older guys, the movie brats of the 70s recognizing one of their own. And the Oscar goes to Martin Scorsese, the 64 little Martin was finally getting his due, 6th time lucky, standing ovation, an enormous audible whistle from Jack. Could, could you double check the envelope? So many people over the years have been wishing this for me, so, it's strange. You know, I go, I went to walk in the street, people would say something to me I'm gonna doctor's office I'm gonna, whatever, elevators. People say:" I wish you, should win it, should win it!" I go for X rays,"you should win one" and I'm saying Thank You. The Departed also took Best Picture, it's not vintage Scorsese. The Academy habitually overlooks the director's best work, though this movie is bloody and entertaining, must have taken more money than any movie he's ever made. Grand King once have called Fosters and the son of a London cabby, produced it. Judi Dench who has a new operation was notable by her absence. But then Helen Mirren has regally swept over for her. According to our account, this was her 25th award for The Queen. Now you know for 50 years and more, Elizabeth Windsor has maintained her dignity, her sense of duty and her hairstyle. And I salute her courage and her consistency and I thank her because for her, if it wasn't for her, I most, most certainly would not be here. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you The Queen. Oh, you are beauty. Peter Morgan, who wrote the Queen, also helped give life to another Oscar winning impersonation. Forest Whitaker took Best Actor for his terrifying embodiment of Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland. It is possible for a kid from East Texas, raised in south central LA and Karlson, who believes in his dreams, commits himself to them with his heart, to touch them and to have them happen. One curious addition to preceding this year, a special camera backstage. So winners could keep on thanking anyone and everyone. Thank you for hiring me. Umum...who else. Barbie still help me, my accent. Special thanks to S, every single day, great that he was there. I forgot to thank Hidi. So Hidi, when you see this ,I'm so sorry. Oh I'd like to thank, did I say God, Yes God, oh, I should thank. Come on, somebody help me. Oh how goodness poultry would have loved, thank you Kam. Um, and just many other people, my agents, um, my lawyer for making a good deal. Well. not so good, but never mind. Don't worry, darling, you'll get your much better deal next time. An invitation to tear in Buckingham Palace is apparently in the offing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.standing ovation:If a speaker or performer gets a standing ovation when they have finished speaking or performing, the audience stands up to clap in order to show its admiration or support. 2.in the offing:即将发生的 |
